Butter cakes are one of the most delicious and amazing products that can come out of one’s kitchen. Whether you are a novice home baker or a professional pastry chef, having perfect butter cake recipes in your repertoire is a must! They are exquisite when consumed on their own as a quick snack; they are perfect when accompanied by coffee, tea, or even hot chocolate as an afternoon (or midnight) treat; and they are versatile when used as the base for more elaborate layered cakes and other pastry creations.In developing the recipes for this class, Chef Joey Prats went back to where all butter cakes began…the quintessential pound cake. Pound cakes date back to the 1700s, and are so named because traditionally, the recipe calls for one pound of butter, one pound of sugar, one pound of eggs, and one pound of flour. While this proven formula yields a decent product, it lacks the qualities Chef Joey was looking for in a cake that was to be described as AMAZING! The bar was set high for this project. The cakes had to be soft, moist, buttery, with the perfect crumb structure and mouthfeel. And so, armed with this vision, passion, and the determination to succeed at giving The Bailiwick Academy students the most amazing butter cake recipes, research and development began in our kitchen. After weeks and weeks of testing (and tasting), Chef Joey finally hit the mark on what he considers the ultimate butter cakes.But wait! That’s not all. Chef Joey wanted to take the class a step further by introducing different flavors to the original vanilla butter cake recipe and present them beautifully crowned with glazes, to elevate them and make them more high-end. Hence, 6 “out of this world” variants were born: Vanilla Butter Cake with Salted Caramel Glaze, Chocolate Butter Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache Glaze, Red Velvet Butter Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze, Espresso Butter Cake with Espresso White Chocolate Ganache Glaze, Matcha Butter Cake with Matcha White Chocolate Ganache Glaze, and Chocolate Marble Butter Cake with Chocolate Marble White Chocolate Ganache Glaze. This is truly a class worthy of the word, AMAZING!This class was designed to equip the learner with the necessary knowledge and skill on how to make the most amazing butter cakes in 6 delicious flavors, complete with glazes. Students will learn the fundamental techniques on how to execute the recipes and apply expert methodologies to achieve a professional look on the finished products.The easy, step-by-step video tutorial, coupled with our signature fool-proof recipes will allow every student to prepare our butter cakes and their glazes with ease and confidence. Valuable tips on mise-en-place, ingredient and equipment identification, storage and shelf life of the finished product, as well as advice on costing and selling price are also included in this long-awaited class.
